It doesn’t matter how much we adore our heels — after wearing them for hours on end, our feet can hurt so much, we’re ready to dump them in the trash! This happens mostly when we’re heading to a major event — think a wedding or other formal situation. But instead of resenting our beloved stilettos, why not do damage control ahead of time and pack up some comfy shoes to change into instead?
The key with picking out a shoe that’s easy to throw into your purse is making sure they’re lightweight and don’t take up too much space. Slip-on styles are definitely preferred — especially if you don’t need to pack a pair of socks to wear with them. You can opt for a fashionable pair of comfy shoes or stick to the basics. Whatever your vibe may be, we’ve found a pair of shoes that can come to your rescue when you need them most. Shop our picks below!
